Església - Fortalesa Castell de Pop (Iglesia de San Miguel Arcángel), the parish church and castle of San Miguel Arcángel. The town of Murla developed around this fortified church over time, with the origins of the castle itself dating back to the early centuries of Muslim rule. The strategic location of the castle and parish church of San Miguel Arcángel allowed control of the passage between L'Alcoià and La Marina Alta, as well as protection for the population from frequent pirate attacks. In the 16th century, the castle building in Murla was remodeled to house the parish church, which consists of a nave divided into three sections and cross-ribbed vaults. It still boasts two imposing towers, and its simple exterior contrasts with the religious architecture of the interior, where Gothic ornamentation can be admired. The fortified church gained importance in the 16th century due to the attacks by Barbarossa's pirates. At the foot of the tower is the laundry room, which is still in use today...

A perfect place to have a rest on a hot day. There are a few benches in the shade under the trees. And there is a tap to refill your bidon.

The Ambra Castle (Spanish: Castillo de Ambra, Catalan: Castell d'Ambra) Pego was founded as a Christian settlement on a hill in the widely scattered Uxola settlement, which was under the power and care of the Ambra Castle. This castle, located about two kilometers as the crow flies southwest of the current town center on the rocky ridge of the Montaña de Abra in the Sierra de Migdia, dominated the access to the Ebo Valley (La Vall d'Ebo) and controlled the area as far as the marshes of Pego-Oliva. The Muslims native to this area probably took building materials from this castle to build the city walls and towers. The Ambra Castle is of Arab origin, and construction began in the second half of the 12th century. After the uprisings of al-Azraq at the end of the 13th century, 20 houses were built within the castle walls. They served as accommodation until the construction of the village of Pego began in 1280.

The fortress church of Murla is the most striking monument in the municipality. This used to be an old castle during the Islamic rule. During the last Muslim period it was owned by Al-Azraq. At the foot of the tower is the washroom, which is still used today.

"Castle" is not much, but the view makes up for it! Beautiful view of Lliber and a mountain ridge. Do it!

In Jalon drive up the blue bridge to the end of the street, there is a small parking lot. From there a short steep climb, approx. 1.5 hours. A wonderful panoramic view from the ruins that fully rewards the effort. The tour requires sure-footedness.

In this area are the ruins of the stone castle of Castellet d'Orba (also known as Murla Castle), which once dominated the region from an elevated position.

At the top of the route, there are a few remains of the castle.
